8.Boil well for few minutes till masala reaches semi solid consistency.Switch off the flame.Add some coriander leaves if necessary.
For variations,u can add finely chopped carrots, while sauting onions. Adjust the quantity of chillies as per ur taste. Here I didn't chop chillies for my kids convenience.
This masala thickens when it cools.So make it slightly watery before switching off the flame.
